Sunday, March 26 from 1-3 pm at the Gunnison Library

Gunnison County Libraries & the League of Women Voters of the Gunnison Valley invites you to our Women’s History Month Tea Party that will be filled with delicious treats, inspiring stories, and lively conversation.

The tea party includes a community read and discussion of “Dinners with Ruth: A Memoir on the Power of Friendships” by Nina Totenberg. This book details a 50-year relationship between NPR Legal Affairs Correspondent, Nina Totenberg, and late Supreme Court Justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg (RBG).

Copies of the book are available to borrow at the library. Participants are encouraged to read this book before the event but it is not required.

During the event, the League of Women Voters of the Gunnison Valley will present briefly about RBG, one of the most influential women in modern history, and facilitate discussion about women’s rights, and the power of enduring friendships.

Free and open to all in the community.

Event dates on Tuesday nights from 5:30-7:30 pm: April 4, 11, 18, 25 and May 2 and 9.

More about the class:

Love and Logic is a philosophy of raising and teaching children which enables adults to be happier, empowered, and more skilled in their interactions with children. This in turn leads to emotionally healthy children who have self-control, a high self-image, and the ability to cope with life’s frustrations with a positive attitude.

The class will be facilitated by Mariyln Cheever, Ma, who is the Child and Family Services Manager for Gunnison/Hinsdale County Department of Health and Human Services.

Qigong is offered at the Gunnison Library every Third Thursday of the month. See a description of the practice and instructor below.

About Qigong:

Qigong is an ancient practice that integrates movement, stillness, and deep breathing. The purpose of qigong is to relax and release tension so that the elements that give us energy and health (breath, blood, lymph, etc) can flow freely throughout the body. Movements in qigong are slow, circular, graceful, and flowing. These movements lubricate the joints, strengthen the muscles, improve circulation, and relax the nervous system. Qigong is a moving meditation that brings awareness to our breath and expands our range of motion. Qigong creates space for health, balance, and calm which can maximize our body’s natural healing processes. Qigong is an easy practice that can be done standing, sitting, or lying down. People of all ages can practice and enjoy this gentle ancient art.

About the instructor:

Heidi Magnus has taught qigong for five years and has practiced since 2015. Heidi’s first career was as an environmental scientist and she still enjoys applying the scientific method and observation skills to all aspects of life. Heidi enjoys making connections between ancient wisdoms, like Qigong, and current research in neuroscience, psychology, and wellbeing. For the last 26 years, Heidi has owned a deli with her sister Kate and finds that qigong helps her to thrive in a busy work environment. Qigong is a vital part of her self-care and she enjoys sharing the tools she has learned for navigating life and its ever-changing challenges. Currently she studies qigong with four teachers (Dr. Roger Jahnke, Mimi Kuo Deemer, Marisa Cranfil, Anthony Korahais). The teachings of Josh Korda and Sharon Salzberg also inspire Heidi in her practice. Heidi enjoys teaching Qigong, and finds sharing the practice with others rewarding. Heidi is offering classes through Gunnison Public Library. These classes are for beginners or advanced students who want to practice in a fun and casual community atmosphere.
